Long before the birth of Rob Liefeld (b. 1967), panels such as the one below appeared in print (Pep 40):

 

 

Sorry for the blur, but I'm probably doing the artist a favour. My legs certainly can't do that, but read the dialogue - he's running really fast.

Thanks for all the contributions thus far!

Big-headed subbie must be one of the worst of all time.
